No. Why? Because it's a bit much. I've never scratched an iPhone lens.
(When Apple makes the lens weaker in the future and scratches just start randomly appearing, maybe I'll reconsider and then make a post about it)

I suppose, but your only at risk if you carry keys in your pocket with your phone and don't use a case.

I have a specific spot I put my iPhone when I'm in my car. It's a plastic space and it collects dust. Part of why I bought that ring I link to above was because the dust in that space was wearing down a small spot on the camera ring as I drove the car (because the phone slides a bit during turns).

The 6s+ seems to have a much better camera ring, but I've also placed something underneath my phone in that same spot now so I no longer have a need for this.

But if your device is in any spots like my 6+ used to be (as described above) this is a very cheap way to protect it. The ring does not cover the camera.

Oh where can I get one, I want to protect my phone , cover it with all kinds of protection, hide it, make using it a pain so when I sell it next year to the guy who will ship it to ..eh "family member" in Syria or Yemen. I can get an extra $3 for it and the person in Syria will have a scratch free, mint condition phone to attach to the road side device.

And before you get on some high horse, the last two phones I sold were sent back home to Yemen. I'm only guessing that it may find their way to the road side. But you can't deny some have.

Maybe I'll just enjoy my device, and after a year of use if it doesn't look like it just came out of the box, well that's just too bad for the person buying it. They aren't paying full price. Strange how everything I own gets a bit of wear and tear as I USE IT.

Quality optical glass not like a window pane. It is very tough and difficult to scratch. Dust, dirt, and sand may scratch the lens depending on its contents. Blow debris off before you clean the glass with a cloth. That really all you need to do.

Also keep in mind that anything you put in front of the lens (filters, adapters, "protectors") is going to reduce image quality.
